Feed My Sheep: Nourishing Disciples, A Pastoral Plan for Catechesis

Easter Monday, April 4, 2010 Bishop McCormack issued the Diocesan Catechetical Plan, Feed My Sheep: Nourishing Disciples, A Pastoral Plan for Catechesis. As part of implementing the diocesan plan, the nine Deanery Meeting presentations were followed by four area workshops based on Creating A Parish Catechetical Plan, A How-To-Do-It Resource by Rev. Robert D. Duggan, S.T.D.

More than 150 people, representing forty parishes, participated in the follow-up workshops, and are now involved in preparing to launch the process for formulating their parish catechetical plan.

June was a month of transitioning for some pastors and parishes, and may have prevented some parish staff members from participating in the workshops. To accommodate this reality, two additional workshops have been scheduled for September. The dates and places are:

September 13, 2010   7 – 8:30 p.m. - Parish of the Resurrection, Nashua
September 16, 2010   7 – 8:30 p.m. - Holy Trinity Parish, Plymouth

Although there is no charge for the workshop, registration is required so we will have an accurate count for set-up and handouts for participants. Click here for the registration flyer.
